Faced with a voter registration disadvantage of more than 100,000 people – a number that has grown since the start of the year – President Obama’s re-election campaign spread out across Colorado over the weekend, trying to close the gap.

The campaign held about 60 education sessions for volunteers between its 13 Colorado offices, Spokesman Michael Amodeo said. Those volunteers then walked targeted neighborhoods and high-profile areas such as Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, asking people to update their voter registration.

The local events were part of a larger National Voter Registration Weekend of Action that the Obama campaign held across the country.

In Colorado, there were 803,721 active registered Republicans and 685,258 active registered Democrats as of April 1. Republicans’ advantage of roughly 118,000 voters is an increase over Jan. 1, when there were about 109,000 more Republicans than Democrats. Meanwhile, the number of unaffiliated voters has grown from about 627,000 on Jan. 1 to about 661,000 on April 1.

The numerical disadvantage has become a kind of rallying cry for the Obama campaign. At a volunteer education event in Boulder on Sunday, a staffer stressed the difference before walking the approximately 40 University of Colorado students in the crowd through the rules for conducting voter registration. “Strive for perfection,” he told them.

How many of these “new voters” are illegals? We The People know that the Democrat Party stole the 2008 election by busing non-citizens to the polls, and then using the New Black Panthers, union thugs, and ACORN activists to stop Real Americans from voting.

If the Black KKK can carry cudgels and menace voters at the polls with no legal jeopardy, it seems logical that Eric Holder should allow other group to do the same?

If Obama really believed in a ‘purple’ nation his re-election committee would not have to focus on “targeted neighborhoods” and “high profile areas”.

Obama has to forcus on “targeted neighborhoods” because the only people in this country who still support Obama are lazy Food Stamp recipients, ACORN members, gun-toting New Black Panthers, union thugs, corrupt public employees, anti-Christian activists, pro aborts, illegals, and homosexuals. No real American can support a guy who can’t even prove he is eligible to serve as President and who tried to foist a blatantly forged birth certificate on the lamestream media!

“Ron” and David, you guys go ahead and continue to confirm each other’s delusional states if you want to. The rest of us will try to remain rooted in reality. As examples from your posts of your lack of reason consider these:
1) “busing non-citizens to the polls…stop Real Americans from voting” Since the popular vote was 69,456,897 to 59,934,81, are you saying that almost 10 million illegals were taken to the polls, and no one but you noticed, or are you saying that nearly 10 million “Real Americans” were so easily intimidated that they didn’t vote, and again no one but you noticed?
2) There is no organization called Black KKK. The very idea that black people would use the name of an organization that lynched so many of them is absurd. Again, if they took cudgels to the polls, why was it not reported? Did you see this happen?
3) Politicians have always focused on areas whee they thought they would be strongest. For instance, I recently read a history of a race in which James Madison and James Monroe ran against each other for seat in Congress and each of them focused on the counties in which they thought they would poll strongest. That’s just how elections work. Even if one believes in a “purple nation” that doesn’t mean all voters will feel the same way, and since resources will be limited it just makes sense to campaign where the most votes are to be had.
4) Everyone but a small lunatic fringe, which is determined to believe what it wants to believe regardless of the evidence and which at least one of you apparently belongs to, now accepts that the president was born in Hawaii and is a native born citizen of the U.S.A. Many real Americans, not everyone but including this white, straight, Christian, native born citizen, fully supports the president in his effort to stabilize the economy the GOP pretty nearly wrecked, to strengthen the middle class, and to protect our country’s freedoms.

I am sorry you believe the propaganda that the Obama administration is feeding to the lamestream media.

There are many more than 10 million illegals in this country. We The People tried to stop the massive busing of illegals to the polls in 2008, but few politicians other than courageous heroes like Sheriff Joe and Scott Gessler are doing anything about it. The only way a Kenyan-born socialist like Obama could have been elected President is through massive fraud.

It’s not called the “Black KKK.” It’s called the “New Black Panthers.” There are videos online showing how the New Black Panthers used intimidation to stop Real Americans from voting for Senator McCain. This occurred throughout the country and got Obama elected, which is why Eric Holder stopped the Department of Justice’s investigation into this massive infringement on voting rights. If We The People don’t stand up for our rights, the New Black Panthers will continue to stand in front of polling places brandishing firearms.

Only officials who are afraid of the voters try to suppress voting in portions of the country. If the Democrat Party was not fearful of We The People, it would be trying to register qualified voters (and not just illegals) everywhere.

The Obama birth certificate is a blatant forgery. Check out the video on Peter Boyles’ website showing that it’s not even a good forgery! Obama’s grandmother said he was born in Kenya. Wouldn’t she know better than anyone where he was born? In addition, Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.A. because his father was a British subject and his mother obtained an Indonesian passport for him. Why does he have a Connecticut Social Security Number? Because his grandmother found a stolen SSN for him because he did not qualify for one. Also, he was accepted to college as a foreign exchange student, which is why he refuses to release his college records. Obama wrecked our economy with his cronyism and wasteful socialist spending policies.
